I'm concerned about Trump's summoning of the Senate for a mass meeting at the White House. I'm having trouble finding a reason for such an unprecedented thing.
What worries me most is the possibility that Trump might initiate an preemptive strike on North Korea that would begin about the time of that meeting, and then announce it as a fait accompli to the assembled Senate and then do a mic drop and walk out.
That would certainly be a Trump-like move as an "accomplishment" in his first 100 days.
It's probably unlikely, but it does worry me.

(5,499 posts)I wonder if he wants to push for a declaration of war. Even though it is unecessary, I think he likes the pomp around such a declaration. I also think he gains some war-time powers if there is a declaration of war. Marshall Law?

I have this feeling that he will tell the crowd, "at this moment, our amazing military with their many many huge bombs are now raining terror down upon the poor babies of north korea".
